“We’ll put a 100% tariff on his toys, and he won’t sell one toy in the United States, and that’s their biggest market.” Trump added: “I wouldn’t want to have him as an executive too long.” Well business leaders. Is this what you call capitalism or fascism. I'll wait... www.cnn.com/2025/06/02/b...

Here is a "shocker". RFK, Jr. lied about the position of the CDC regarding COVID shots for children. Once again his allegiance to his own Anti-Vaccine position gets put forth as medical doctrine. This continues this disgusting pattern the GOP has espoused slandering the safety of COVID vaccines.

Don't believe the myth (perhaps outright lie) that no lives are being lost by these global "stop spending" edicts. An efficiency study identifies critical spending. An efficiency study provides documented assessment of cost savings and benefits. DOGE did not. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
